Our Work
How healthy do you think you are? Would you say you are in good or poor heath? Your answer may differ depending on where you live.
Even though more Coloradans have access to dental insurance, there are striking disparities in oral health, which may be fueled by income status.
The week started early for a Colorado Health Institute crew with “CHAS at Church” Sunday morning at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Denver. Sara Schmitt and Tamara Keeney used data from the Colorado Health Access Survey to create a presentation titled “Unequal Health: A Spotlight on Colorado.”
In the midst of celebrating our state’s record-low 6.7 percent uninsurance rate, it can be easy to forget that this still means that more than 350,000 Coloradans lack health coverage.
A new analysis by the Colorado Health Institute takes a closer look at the state’s remaining uninsured.
Drumroll, please! Introducing the first map in a new series called “CHAS: Mapping Data A to Z.” Let’s break it down.
State-level data aren’t a thing of the past. But local data are definitely a thing of the present.
In the past few years, CHI has witnessed a shift in the way the health community talks about and measures health. The big picture is still important context but local concerns are increasingly part of the conversation.
Why is this happening now?
The 9-to-5 grind. The night shift. The 40-hour work week that always seems to go beyond. Demanding work schedules are increasingly being cited by Coloradans as a reason they’re not getting the health care that they need.
CHI experts hit the road in 2015 and 2016 to share local and regional data from the Colorado Health Access Survey.
The percentage of Colorado kids with dental insurance hit an all-time high in 2015. That’s good news — up to a point.
